None of the diagrams in the factory manual appear to show the shrouds crossed for the 23.5, but do show the shrouds crossed for the 26, but mine are not crossed (H26).

Somebody somewhere must know for sure. Dave will likely have some background.

So this is just my own twisted logic but since the swept back spreaders allow the shrouds to function like a back stay, it seems to me that the shroud that passes through the spreader should be led aft as far as possible.... so the uppers go to the back U-bolt.

To the rear for the upper also outer shrouds.
You only have two lower and two upper shrouds in addition to the forestay
